do you remember him, what kind of person was he, and in reality he was an ethnic russian, well , an honest one, no, not a russian, yes, that’s important, we ’re talking about this story, he was an estonian, who took his wife’s surname so that no one knew about his origin, people are ashamed , that’s it, but he tried to at least look like such a russian chauvinist, it’s true, even when he was the head of the ukrainian government, so that’s why i mentioned to you that he was not russian, because it’s not a question ethnicity the question of political motivation, he had it like this, russian, well, that's all, so here, everything seems absolutely obvious to me, huh, and i don't think that there can be hate against the new commander-in-chief of the armed forces, connected with where he was born and where he studied, most of our generals and senior officers who are of that age... studied in russian

military schools, simply because there were more of them, there were more of them on the territory of russia, that all these people, as a rule, we had such a tradition, they are children of the military, this military dynasties, they went there precisely because their parents didn't actually send them there, i can't say, but by their example they made it clear that this is the best job for a man, when you give birth to a military man in this family, you don't have much ideas of who you should be because you see your father this... robot, she's so manly, really, and you want, here i am, you know it, i know it, you know it, and i i know, because i, my grandfather was a professional soldier, i am, we all know this, that is, we don't need to, and many people knows what to explain here, yes, well , let's move on to the issue of the promised political changes, because the president promised to change something not only in the military sphere, as you read, by the way, this one? a signal, as a real

intention, as an understanding that the term of the constitutional powers of the president coincides, although the state of war in the country according to our constitution allows him to continue his work, look, we have two articles in the constitution: article 108, 103, i apologize that the president of ukraine is elected by the citizens of ukraine on the basis of direct universal suffrage suffrage, by secret ballot , with a term of... may 30 should have ended, but this is article 100 eighth, that the president of ukraine exercises his powers before entering the post of the newly elected president of ukraine, for 5 years, but the powers are valid, until a new president is elected, that is , there are no problems with volodymyr zelensky staying in office after may 30, but... there is a question with

the powers, why? because the authority that he, because the authority expires, he is transferred to the exercise of the authority to the introductory one, that is, he worships ukrainian legislation, it is possible to turn it around, that is, he is elected on the basis of the law, the mandate continues, but the question is the functionality of the functionality, maybe the entire functionality will be able to act, we have not been in such a situation. the only person with us who had a term longer than 5 years, after the election, was leonid kuchma in connection with maidanovich, but it was a very short period, and no one was interested in it from the point of view that he was simply stepping in the position of the new president, and the previous president does not need anything had to do, he just needed to be in office, here the president will have to actively manage the state for an indefinite period of time, which means... he may

be afraid, i don’t know how much it is again, i am not a lawyer, that he will not have any powers, that is that his powers in this situation will correspond to the powers of the acting president of ukraine. uhu, well, that is, it is the impossibility of dismissing certain officials, the impossibility of appointing certain officials to their positions, but only acting duties, it is not an opportunity to even submit a candidacy. minister, if you remember, we had a period when we had the acting president, oleksandr turchynov, and during this period, let's say, the head of government, the minister of foreign affairs, the minister of defense, they were basically not there submitted by the president, they were submitted as acting, as if they were acting, although they were full-fledged heads of their ministries, so there may be many such things that would need to be clarified now, uh, maybe it is necessary... a submission to the constitutional court

to clarify the functions of the president of ukraine in connection with these two articles, but that's it, but the president can be afraid. that he will not have enough authority for certain actions, and therefore, let's say, he may seek to replace all those officials that he wants to replace in the political and military leadership of the country before may, because he may consider that he has a limited period, so someone works in a position, well, when he has a desire, he will replace this person with another person, huh, but it is not a matter of desire, the question of the deadline, it's time, then how do you know when the deadline ends. a person quite often changes the command for the next term, it is not as if the next term begins, in fact, it may not be five years, it may simply be until the end of hostilities, but this is simply a new quality of management, so there may be such a point of view , so i think that there will be a lot of changes, simply because it will be considered

that it is better to make all these changes that personnel want to make by may 30, so that then there are no super probable conflicts. in order to just don't check if i can do it or not, why when it's all done and then i work quietly and i don't even have to ask anyone about these questions because i don't have to make the relevant decisions, maybe so will, i don't know, well, i think the president is discussing it with lawyers, he has a legal team, and he understands it better than we do, although i say again, i would, let's say, get clear , a clear clarification of the constitutional court on this matter, so as not to raise... this topic again, but see you and i are currently discussing this issue from the point of view of, well, the mechanics of the process and the letter of the law, of course, not the fact that the president thinks in these categories, can he think in terms of the legitimacy of his continued tenure in office, well, we are already convinced of the legitimacy of his

tenure, if he is in office before the newly elected president takes office, and what about those players who are currently supporting us in the confrontation with the russian federation, with them... there is no newly elected president, because there is no elections, that's all, and when the president talks about a change in the political plane, he means, again, the institutional one. construction of our state by law, or how it works de facto? the office of the president in our country now performs many different functions , which are de facto working, but in any case it is clear that the ministers and the head of the government are voted for in the parliament, at the meeting of the office of the president, the parliamentarians have the opportunity not

to vote, however, they vote, huh, so you just understand it, if u the president did not have a majority in the parliament, it could be discussed, but he does not have a majority and the coalition is there. i can take advantage of this situation to impose some new figure on him for the post of prime minister, but why is there nothing? uh, yes , well, let's move on, we still have 20 minutes to talk, and i can't help but ask about the aftertaste of what putin said to tucker carlson, actually, well, it's really important, who chose this interview , how do you evaluate this work from a journalistic point of view, maybe, and of course from a political point of view, well first of all, i never thought tucker kalson was a journalist, he's gone. mobster because he 's manipulative, he basically lost his job as a tv host because fox had to pay hundreds of millions of dollars for not being able to prove his information because he just made it up, it's again at the level of religion, he made something up and

he says something like that and he believes that it is so, uh, because he, as we could see during this interview, absolutely an ignorant person, he is stupid, but about... the problem is that even he, as a person, after all, he is an american, which we were not there, and it was funny to him, this person in front of him was so much to him , he puffed out his cheeks there after that, here is putin, a smart person, but he did not talk to him like a smart person, he talked to him like an idiot, well, the verbal language sounded interesting, that is, like with some person, that is, with some underdeveloped person some country over there, and here he is, that is, a white person who brought these to... well, look, but, but such a surely, it means that this man eats some of his ministers for dinner, that's how it looked, it looked like the behavior of such a person, his attitude towards let, like the behavior of such a white colonizer, ugh, who

disembarks on his ship there on the shore of some there india or an african country, this is how people are treated, if i were putin, i would not be flattered by this... i can, well, because carson is like that, another person would not come, and maybe putin and carson have common views on that , what does people generally look like according to classifications, only putin in in this classification, carson stands on... below him, uh, because he is an american, and putin is unknown who, that was also visible, and the fact that putinovo angrily asked at the beginning of the interview whether this was a show or a serious conversation, because he was laughing, and he was having a serious conversation, this is one moment, and another moment, that they obviously expected something else from putin, this whole company, seriously, of course, some signals say that he will end the war. 24 hours, then putin should at least pretend that he knows how. when putin

says: "i absolutely do not care how you save face when you recognize these regions as russian, save how, well, find, save for me, so what, then this means that he does not see any compromises, the more trump thinks that it is he will help save putin's face, and it turns out that putin wants to, yes, gives trump the opportunity to somehow run around there and...". uh, to save face, you see, and this kind of story is very strange, and he didn’t say anything new, that is, oh, he said something new, the americans will hear, well , again, here alexandrel was completely right that americans will start hearing about lurik and veliky novgorod and will not understand what all this has to do with politics, because he does not operate with legal and political categories, but with categories, you know, of blood. hitler's, yes, and this, and it

looks strange for a modern person, it already looked strange for a modern person in the 30s, and now it looks absolutely some kind of archaic, dusty, some kind of junk, that 's how it looked during this interview , and oh, they will see and everyone says, we will lose the information battle to them, right conservatives, we have nothing to lose, and they hear what they want, so be it. that they are not going to listen at all, because in their heads it is not the putin that was sitting there, but the putin that she needs. well, it’s another matter that people there, politicians like trump, they saw that this putin, whom they need once again, did not happen and that he is not there, well, this is also a very important moment, well, you saw that putin is somehow not developing, we we are waiting all the time, and we are waiting all the time, that he somehow rethinks reality, he in the principle has been talking for 20 years, you know, like soviet radio. that's right, there is no putin in ukraine, the autoria general staff, it's very much like some old man on the bench,

no, well, with hitler it was something new, or just an unsuccessful rhetorical somersault, well, he 's so openly twisted to slap what's on your mind, in my opinion, even he did not resort to this, it is true, it was not the same with hitler, i agree, lukashenko made such a mistake when he came to office, you know, yes, he gave an interview there, one with the first ones, i said: "well, not everything bad was connected with hitler, he built the road there, gave people jobs and all, but lukashenko never did this again in 30 years, and this only after 24 years of coming to power , suddenly, but it’s not a secret either, they all in this kgb adored nazism, ugh, because they saw that communism was somehow not like that, they somehow didn’t like it that way , some kind of moss, as they said there, but the nazis, moreover, they did not know about the nazis from their stories. there were girls there, because they were there simple guys from simple families, and the grandfathers knew only that they went to berlin and

destroyed the reichstag, and they knew it from the movie shields of swords, putin's favorite, he says that it is his favorite movie, 17 moments of spring , beautiful nazis, apparatus struggle, this is their view of the reich, even aesthetics, i think they are very ok, well, of course, they duplicate it in fact, they are simply the heirs of all this, and they are just now beginning to historically be the heirs of what.. ... she forced poor hitler to attack her, well, we heard it all from the comrade himself hitler, nothing new, well, the historical parallels of putin are such, and if we look at germany today, we see a country that is taking on the role of a flagship now in general, and in principle is regaining the role of a truly leading european country, here in relation to even behavior in the international arena, and what does it leave behind? dievel had a text today, which said that the german special services and relevant bodies believe that in

the event of ukraine's defeat, another 10 million ukrainian citizens will flee to europe, they are afraid of this they are trying to re-insure, but the opposition says 10 million, this is their very optimistic forecast, this is the best option, this is the best option, and you understand that in reality it is not as easy to accept such a large number of people at the same time as it seems, ugh, it will already happen not only women with children, it will be men as well, the whole world will be, and plus absolute destabilization in the neighborhood of central europe, and in central europe itself, and all the words oh... and they will gladly accept 10 million, as we have they say, they won't mind, eh, well, try it to accept 10 million people at once, even if you imagine that five of them will later get a job with you, to digest this, this, this is a big humanitarian crisis, and in order to prevent this humanitarian crisis with syria,

angela merkel agreed with erdogan, in in this case, scholz is erdogan himself, you understand, he is erdogan, to whom... all these people will come, he has no other erdogan, except himself, and of course he needs ukraine to win, because he does not know at all with any , firstly, it is a loss of economic stability, secondly, it is a fee loss of political stability, thirdly, this is a loss of power, and in the best case, in favor of the christian democratic union, in the worst case, in favor of an alternative for germany, which will be trampled on these migration issues. as he can, huh, and all this, these are politicians, you understand, these are politicians who think about the legacy, about what they will do next in general, how they will be perceived, scholz, of course, did not want to take part in all this at all participation, you understand, by and large he is not so much a politician, how much is an accountant, he has such a temperament, but what will he do if everything falls

out of his hands, and he sees how it can all come back, and what will become of him? to say that this is the chancellor who lost to germany because he was unable to help ukraine, why should he live, then he reached the greatest thing that can be done for himself, not even in germany, in world politics, federal germany is one from the greatest positions in the world, and here is a person who has realized this ambition of his, so that later he will be cursed for the rest of his life, here is angela merkel walking, for all the controversy of her legacy, she is an icon for the germans there because she provided them with stability. in fact, all the time he was in office, and scholz will be an anti-icon, he doesn’t want it that way, scholz came after merkel and ruined everything, completely, we lived in such a wonderful country, and now we don’t have a country, but a refugee camp, because scholz could not solve this challenge, which was somewhere in the east of europe, not even here, it was necessary to just help, and what did he do, uh, well, so

that's a word, the chancellor of germany is fine now does his job, not only his job. ours and ours coincided, what is politics? politics is an art , a coincidence of interests, we have scholzem, not even just from germany, but with scholzem, they coincided in interest, that's why i'm surprised by the poles, polish farmers, they don't understand what will happen next, what about all these ukrainian farmers , which now prevent them from earning income, half of them may end up in poland as refugees, ugh. they will not have any income, because they will pay taxes to the polish budget much more, to somehow save the country from the humanitarian crisis, it just seems now that ukraine's loss in the war is a local story, no, first of all , western politicians are already clearly saying that if ukraine loses, the conflict will spread, because

russia will intensify , will get a taste of... such power, so there will be destabilization there, destabilization here, hybrid wars, it will be very bad, i think that nothing good is waiting for anyone, but in this situation it will just increase exponentially, so of course, this is generally an anecdotal situation, about which we have already said that scholz himself went to biden, uh, to convince the americans, and not the other way around, the americans convince the europeans, as it has always been, all the last 10 years, it is of course me on... from this point of view, it remains completely it wasn't long before you and i were at the saturday political club, information appeared that katalin novak, the head of hungary, announced her resignation, thousands of people on the front line demanded this from her at a rally in the center of budapest, i will quote a little: i accepted pardon decision,

believing that the convict did not abuse the vulnerability of the children entrusted to him, it is actually about the fact that she pardoned. a person who was accused of pedophilia, yes, the task of the president of the republic, which also follows from the basic law, is to ensure the unity of the nation, katalin novak realizes, children are our most important treasure, believes that the nation is united in this, despite all the differences in views and announces his resignation. let me remind you that katalin novak was, in principle, a president who was sympathetic to ukraine. we had more or less well, you understand very well that it is not katalin novak who decides the issue. this time, the second question, it once again tells how such a leader's regime works. katalin novyk is just a person who signed a document prepared by the relevant authorities. we can say. that she should figure out who she pardons, but it doesn't look like that, especially in hungary, where the prime minister, the president must be absolutely loyal to the government, otherwise a person is disloyal, cannot become

president, and katharin novak was endlessly endlessly loyal to viktor orban, that the decision to sign the submission was from the minister of justice, one of orbán's closest allies, judith varge, she also just... resigned, she was supposed to head the fidesz list for the european parliament elections, but she left political life altogether, so she took take absolute responsibility for what happened. now viktor orban, he is speaking, it was his appeal, and he was so upset that he did not accept the president’s explanation, he said that all this was terrible, that he himself was a father and grandfather, if one of his grandchildren did such a thing, he would have torn it apart with his bare hands, this is a quote too, but you are quoting uh... katalin novaka, i am quoting viktor orbán from his address to the nation, is this not cynicism, at all? we really have to believe that all this was not agreed upon by the government. the person who

is responsible for all this, her name is not katalin novik, this person, and not even judith varga, and her name is viktor orbán, because viktor orbán appointed this minister of justice, viktor orbán nominated this president, for viktor orbán himself there are no consequences and this is not the first time. by the way, kateli novak is the second president of hungary to resign due to such accusations, the first was around 12, as i recall, pal schmitt, who resigned due to plagiarism , i think found somewhere in his works, if i'm not mistaken, and what's interesting is that pal schmitt and katalin novak were people infinitely loyal to orbán, who just nodded when he wanted something, and katalin novyk's predecessor, janusz adere. who was between her and schmidt, ugh, he was 10 years, two terms, he, you can't say that he greatly interfered with orbán, but he always

contradicted certain actions of the government, submitted to the constitutional court, that is, he tried to behave like a president, it was not very successful, but everyone knew that he had his own independent position, no wonder, this person did not resign i didn't go, ugh, i worked two terms, and why, because everyone knew. that she had her own responsibility, and orbán knew it, and strangely enough, he did not want to conflict, even though janoshader was also a long-time associate, but it turns out that endless loyalty in a warlordism regime does not guarantee retention of position. orbán could have already defended katalyanovyk, he could have come forward and said that she is not responsible for the information she was given. to the signature that this is a matter for officials, so that officials should be held accountable , the minister of justice should be held, everything turned out the other way around, that the minister of justice from the orbaniv camp was forced

to resign after the resignation of the president, after the resignation of the president , the minister of justice only made public her decision, and so believed that she would generally go to the european parliament as a leader list, despite all this history, okay, you can be endlessly loyal, there will come a point when you get tired of... he won't get tired of you, when he uses you to avoid being responsible himself, uh, if you don't have no will of your own, then you can be used at any moment , you just know, this is such a regime, it’s like a hot air balloon, it drops various strings so that it is not needed, what orban wants to drop right now together with katalinov, the responsibility for the pardon a person accused of pedophilia, because it is his responsibility. people were enraged by this, and this, by the way, is another demonstration of incompetence and nepotism, we understand that it was no accident that it was a pardon, because the incompetence was

connected with the fact that it is in such countries , with such regimes, i would say , even, it is done before the holidays, it was the visit of the pope, they held a pardon before the visit of the pope, well, you know, you come to us, and we are all christians. we do not want to show mercy to our neighbor, even if he has erred, in your spirit you are wash the feet of criminals, and we pardon those who have already served time for crimes, and if this person was not there on this list, it would look beautiful, but they showed that they are not very, or not very competent, or used the situation in order to pardon the one whom they wanted to pardon, that is, no one will know what the reason is, who? put

this name on the list, realizing what kind of crime it was, they hoped that no one would notice, do you think they didn't know what kind of article it was, there is a minister of justice, there is her the device, they don't know what they are doing, there is one in hungary, where everything works in an absolutely specific way, this is a serious professional ee apa device, ugh, so that's what it showed once again, and me, by the way, to pe'. so they went to protests, demanded the resignation of the president, the truth is, yes, seriously, katalin novak is directly responsible for all of this, well, it looks comical, to be honest, well, we lived in such realities for quite a long time, we have a president was responsible for everything, do you even remember this joke about the light bulb in the entrance there or not, but he was really in charge because he was the real head of state, huh, and katelin novik is not...

the real head, the real head of state is viktor orbán, and he is responsible for the light bulb in the hallway because he wants to be responsible for the light bulb in the hallway drive, like each of our presidents, it just turns out that when someone breaks a light bulb, viktor oban says that he is not responsible, this is an important point for you, viktor orban is responsible only for whole light bulbs, and others are responsible for broken light bulbs people, orbán speaks to the hungarians. as if this is the president from some opposition party, the minister of justice was appointed not by him, but by some other people, he is just an unfortunate grandfather who would protect his grandchildren from pedophiles by tearing them apart with his bare hands, and he is like an unfortunate grandfather along with everyone is angry at these despicable officials, but as i want, the unfortunate grandfather, for sure viktor orban , is it viktor orban, or some other grandfather, this is

me... i would say the maximum of cynicism, which can only be seen, that a person completely calmly acts in the role of an unfortunate grandfather, grandfather viktor from budapest, and now grandpa viktor from budapest, what about prime minister viktor orbán, i don't know who he is, tomorrow i will be prime minister viktor orbán, tomorrow, and today i am grandfather angry president judge on mila , i'm all bastards, but you refereed this match yourself, ugh, it's you, you. i forgot, but i don’t know, and the people allow him to do it, that’s what i’m talking about, i’m surprised by the hungarians who can’t clearly say, well, except for some opposition publications there, that in fact this is orbán’s direct responsibility, and this is very good for us lesson, because now, finishing already our conversation, we, unlike hungary , clearly understand which person will be

responsible for the action. of the armed forces of ukraine, that our president is responsible both for targets and for broken light bulbs, this is what makes us different from hungary, because we are a democratic state in the literal sense of the word. well, no, it’s not easy, complicated, young, but we definitely understand that our president is responsible for all the light bulbs, not like hungary, that one is responsible for the goals and the others are broken, and by the way, it was up to a certain point in us so with the army until retirement good luck, but from this moment on , volodymyr oleksandrovich zelenskyi, the president of ukraine, is responsible for all... the light bulbs in our entrances, for the whole ones and for the broken ones. i do not want to congratulate him on this, because this is a difficult and responsible position. thank you, friends, thank you, khrystyna yatskiv and vitaly portnikov, saturday political club, see you soon.

will the situation on the battlefield change due to reshuffles in the country's military leadership, with what miracle weapons do the muscovites threaten ukraine and our homes, how many soldiers managed to be returned from russian captivity. congratulations viewers of espresso, annaeva melnyka is with you and for your attention the news, summaries of the week. bars instead of a volunteer, after almost two years of full-scale war, president volodymyr zelenskyy decided to change the commander-in-chief. the society was preparing for this news for several months , and the official reason for the replacement of valery zaluzhny with oleksandr syrsky was never announced at the bank. why could the supreme commander make such a decision?
